Dec 12, 2007 in Tokyo:
The screenings of award winning WorldMediaFestival-films on December 12, 2007
are organized by the JAPAN ASSOCIATION OF AUDIOVISUAL PRODUCERS, INC. At the
Jijitsuhin Hall in Tokyo members of the association as well as many guests
from business and industry will come together for a seminar-style event to
view the best international productions. Each film is introduced by the
chairman of the association and is shown in Japanese language:

It is all about communication and information - and helps you, by talking
to others, to establish where you stand in an increasingly complex media
world quickly and in a practical way.

The Screening Day before the Ceremony gives you an unrivalled opportunity
to see the work of other programme-makers - in other countries, with other
techniques, on other subjects. Also attend the "Best Practice" presentations
by media professionals for media professionals.

No other Festival in Europe provides such a chance to expand your
professional horizons in this way.

In addition, the social element of the Festival, that starts with the
opening Get-Together in the evening of May 8 and concludes after the Awards
Ceremony with the Media Party, gives you the chance to meet and talk to other
programme-makers, as well as those who commission the programmes.

intermedia® provides you with the audiences for your av-messages, so
that you reach your targets and target groups. No losses from scatter effect
- your messages are specifically asked for by those who are interested in
them. With a concept tested and proven.

Your informational film is the ideal medium to support your communications
strategies. Why not give us a call? ++49+40+43 80 85

In your company you might have hundreds of hours of expensively produced
video footage, image videos, TV spots and promotional videos. Instead of
having these lying around in old dusty cupboards wouldn't you like to be able
to utilize their value for internal and external communications and have the
ability to easily redeploy them in whatever format you need? You want to make
your website more attractive; you want to display your latest TV ads
throughout your business; your employees want to look at promotional videos
and promotional material on their mobile phones and pass these on to
potential clients; your image videos need to be put on DVD and handed out at
trade fairs; your advertising agency needs video stock to cut new TV spots;
moreover your marketing department needs to be able to search, find and
preview videos and additional information (product descriptions,
presentations, CAP drawings ) for their campaigns and the data has to be
downloadable in broadcast quality formats and must be ready to be sent out to
tape or DVD. There is a solution . . .

and how this could work for you will be demonstrated at WorldMediaFestival
during the Screening Day in a practical hands-on approach by COMO Computer &
Motion GmbH - ProxSys solutions enable you to cost-effectively optimize media
asset management across your organization.

Dear Ms. Cora Chinbuah,
We wish to have expressed our gratitude for your coming to the screening in
Japan last year.
Mr. Takeshi Osuka, vice president of our association, died on March 6 this
year. His death was a big severe wound for us. But his will is succeeded, an
international committee was started up with new members. Mr. Kimio Ito,
President of Image Science and Mitsuro Makiguchi, Managing Director of Image
Science joined as members. Of course, we also have obtained the strong support
of Ms. Emiko Okumura.

We are planning the screening of the Corporate film that received the high
appraisal in Europe and the United States this year.
We have got the high appraisal from the participant every year because this
kind of film doesn't have the chance to be open to the public in Japan besides
this screening.

Best regards,
Tadashi Ohkubo
Secretary-general

The annual Tokyo screenings including the following 2006 WorldMediaFestival
award winning entries will be held December 14 at the Tokyo International
Forum:

Experienced communications managers from substantial businesses talk about
successful corporate film projects that received awards in 2005 at the
WorldMediaFestival - global competition for modern media.

The forum is intended for

Senior managers in companies, trade associations and organisations who
are responsible for communication and publicity

PR specialists who act on behalf of clients

Producers of corporate films, as well as those who write, direct and film
them

Service providers in the audiovisual media industry

Specialist journalists

Communication films have differing and very special tasks to perform.
Concept and realisation have to be carefully agreed between commissioner and
producer when complex messages are involved. The more exactly the effective
communication of core messages is thought through and worked on, the more
certain it is that the film will achieve its intended effect, and thus be of
use to the commissioner.

Film success needs continuity and a strategic overview.
This Forum lets you look over the shoulder of successful communications
managers, and provides information on

Lloyd AG, Hamburg, about the film "Partners in Excellence - Germanischer
Lloyd in China" and the production company BM8 GmbH from Wedel near Hamburg

WorldMediaFestival goes East
The organisers of the WorldMediaFestival have travelled to Japan to
introduce the concept of the Festival to the Japan Association of
Audiovisual Producers, as well as to show some of the 2005 award winners.
The Association held its 8th annual seminar on 7th December 2005 at the
Tokyo International Forum, where the topic of the event was "the best
recently-produced international corporate films. The seminar was well
attended, with an audience of around 150 members of the Association as well
as other interested professionals.

Mrs Cora Chinbuah (founder and owner of the WorldMediaFestival) gave a
presentation about the content and scope of international festivals: "Global
competition is global communication". She also talked about the value and
uses of audiovisual communications. The presentation had not only been
translated from English into Japanese but was also presented in Japanese by
Ms. Emiko Okumura, who is a member of the Distinguished Board of Advisors of
the WorldMediaFestival.
Following the presentation, 10 international award-winning corporate films -
7 of them WorldMediaFestival winners - were shown, with Japanese subtitles,
to the audience. The president of the Association introduced each film
before screening, telling the audience about its producers, sponsors and the
purpose of the production, as well as providing a short synopsis.
